Insights
Practical thinking, shared on LinkedIn.
Eaton HallLinkedIn · January 2024
Many transactions involve at least one ‘walk-away’, where one party says ‘no thanks, I’m out’. If advisors have established trust between them, they can often navigate the concerns and resurrect the transaction.

We suggest ‘consensus before drafting’ where possible. Hence the ‘SHA Schema’ idea was born — because otherwise negotiations can be unnecessarily time and cost-consuming.
